Hosanna Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Crowd
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won't you smile at me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

Caiaphas
Tell the rabble to be quiet
We anticipate a riot
This common crowd
Is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song
That they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse
They should disperse

Crowd
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C you're alright by me
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

Jesus
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the shouting
If ev'ry tongue was still the noise would still continue
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing:

Crowd, with Jesus
Hosanna Heysanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho Sanna
Hey J C, J C won't you fight for me?
Sanna Ho Sanna Hey Superstar

It�s the best song in this film. I love it.

The word hosanna (Hosianna in norwegian) comes from Hebrew and means something like "come with help" or "give salvation".

This isn't the whole song.

by Patti on 3/9/2011 7:40am
The last verse that's missing is:

Hosanna Hey sanna sanna sanna ho, sanna hey sanna ho-san-na, Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me, sanna ho sanna hey superstar!

Before that is Jesus' second verse:

Sing me your songs
But not for me alone
Sing out for yourselves
For you are blessed
There is not one of you who
Cannot win the Kingdom
The slow, the suffering,
The quick, the dead

It's funny how the last verse (missing) says that "won't you die for me, and Jesus did die for them. :D

by Annoying guy on 4/30/2015 12:49am
Last verse is missing!

Sing me your songs
But not for me alone
Sing out for yourselves
For you are blessed
There is not one of you who
Cannot win the Kingdom
The slow, the suffering,
The quick, the dead

Hosanna Hey sanna sanna sanna ho, sanna hey sanna ho-san-na, Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me, sanna ho sanna hey superstar!
